Apple won’t deliver iOS 7 until later this year, but the decision to upgrade or stay with your current iPhone, iPad or iPod touch requires planning. That said, if you are loving what you see in Apple’s upcoming mobile operating system update, you need to know if your current iThing can run it.

For what it’s worth, comparing iOS 6 and iOS 7, Apple has dropped the iPhone 3GS and fourth generation iPods.
